2 Introduction Peripheral nerves are the neural structures that connect CNS to the end organs PNS consists of: Ø 12 pairs of cranial nerves Ø 31 pairs of spinal nerves Unique power of regeneration
3 Etiology of nerve injury Three major causes: v Medium to high energy nerve injuries v Low energy compressive or ischemic lesions v Complex injuries
4
5 Classification
6
7 Approach to the patient History: pain, sensory loss, weakness Clinical examination: general, inspection, joint mobility, motor & sensory testing, autonomic testing & special tests Electrophysiology: NCV, EMG Imaging
8 Time of intervention Changes following nerve injury: Ø Central cell death, ischemia & fibrosis Ø Target organ changes: muscle atrophy & disappearance of motor end plates- irreversible with time Ø Proximal injury- worse outcome
9 Time of intervention: early Early nerve repair prevents neuronal loss & improves outcome Ma J, Novikov LN, Kellerth JO, Wiberg M: Early nerve repair after injury to the postganglionic plexus: an experimental study of sensory and motor neuronal survival in adult rats. Scand J Plast Reconstr Surg Hand Surg 2003; 37:1-9. With exception of spinal accessory improved results of early repair are found in median, ulnar, radial, musculocutaneous, sciatic, CPN & closed traction BPI Merle M, Amend P, Cour C, et al: Microsurgical repair of peripheral nerve lesions: a study of 150 injuries of the median and ulnar nerves. Peripher Nerve Repair Regen 1986; 2: Birch R, Raji AR: Repair of median and ulnar nerves. Primary suture is best. J Bone Joint Surg Br 1991; 73: Kato N, Htut M, Taggart M, et al: The effects of operative delay on the relief of neuropathic pain after injury to the brachial plexus: a review of 148 cases. J Bone Joint Surg Br 2006; 88: Limiting factor for early repair: difficult to determine the extent of stump resection
10 Primary repair: urgent surgery Operations done within 3-5 days of injury Indication: sharp transection Contraindication: poor clinical condition Adv: v Scar free field v Minimal intraneural scarring-less distortion of intraneural architecture- proper fascicular matching Disadvantage : EPS may not be available or feasible
11 Delayed primary repair Done after 2-3 weeks Good outcome Advantages of primary surgery disappears
12 Secondary repair Performed between 3 weeks to 3 months Indications: neuroma in continuity Adv: 40% of BPI recovers spontaneously- prevents unnecessary surgery Disadvantage : exploration in scarred tissue & intraneural scarring & distortion
13 Indications for surgery Paralysis after trauma over the course of a major nerve- including iatrogenic injuries Paralysis following closed traction BPI Associated vascular or orthopedic injury requiring treatment Worsening or failure to improve within expected time period Persistent pain
14 Contraindications Poor general condition of the patient Uncertainty about viability of the nerve trunks Local & systemic sepsis Early signs of recovery
15 Types of surgery Primary procedures Alternative methods Secondary procedures
16 Alternative procedures Direct muscular neurotization Nerve conduits Interposed freeze-thawed muscle Nerve allograft repair Central repair
17 Secondary procedures Tendon transfer Functioning free muscle transfer Arthrodesis Tenodesis Corrective osteotomy Amputation
18 Principles of nerve repair Environment: generous operative field, good illumination, microscope or loupe Anesthesia: Short acting paralyzing agent Flexibility regarding the position of surgeon & limb
19 Principles of nerve repair Wide exposure Sharp dissection in anatomic planes starting from virgin tissues & progressing towards the lesion Meticulous hemostasis- bipolar cautery Preserving fat & synovium planes- nerve s gliding planes- Ø The gliding apparatus of peripheral nerve and its clinical significance. Millesi H, Zoch G, Rath T. Ann Chir Main Memb Super 1990;9(2):87-97.
20 Principles of nerve repair Preparing nerve stumps: Ø Circumferential exposure Ø Generous proximal & distal mobilization Ø External neurolysis Ø Use of intra-operative electro-physiology Ø Placement of lateral stay sutures (6-0)- to maintain topographic alignment
21 Ø Debridement of nerve stumps proximally & distally to remove scar tissue- scar > scar with some fascicles > pure healthy fascicles (fascicles appear to pout, glossy surface & fine bleeding from vessels)
22 Principles of nerve repair Proper alignment & positioning of nerve stumps & grafts: Ø Longitudinal vessel alignment in epineurium Ø Fascicular alignment
23 Principles of nerve repair Proper suturing: v Material: 8-0, 9-0 or 10-0 monofilament nylon v Two lateral sutures apart v Three to four more sutures may also be placed v Tensionless v Avoid overzealous suturing- every suture induces fibrosis
24 Principles of nerve repair Use of fibrin glue: v Secures the position of anastomosis v When used alone: does not provide tensile strength or permit to fish-mouth v Clump formation to be avoided
25 Decompression Release of a nerve from external compression Types: v Open v Endoscopic
26 Neurolysis Release of nerve or its part from organized scar Types: v External v internal External neurolysis: Ø Nerve is set free from scar, organized hematoma or bony fragments Ø Released in circumferential manner Ø Epineurium is minimally breached
27 Neurolysis Internal neurolysis: Ø Opening or resection the external epineurium to lyse internal scar Ø Plain of dissection: internal epineurium Ø Not to damage perineurium Ø Used for preparation of nerve ends for grafting, dissection of neuroma in continuity & benign nerve sheath tumor
28 Direct repair Possible in most clean lacerating injuries & when co-aptation can be done without undue tension Types: 1. Epineural repair 2. Grouped fascicular repair 3. Fascicular or perineural repair Combination of epineural & grouped fascicular repair- most commonly used
29 Traditional method Epineural repair Appropriate for monofascicular & diffusely grouped polyfascicular nerve Goal: tensionless coaptation of proximal & distal fascicular anatomy
30 Epineural repair Small bite taken from internal & external epineurium Perineurium avoided Tied with mild to moderate tension Disadvantage: precise matching of proximal & distal fascicles may not be possible
31 Grouped fascicular repair Indication: ü Group of fascicles with specific functions- sensory or motor ü Nerve requiring split repair Debridement & alignment Inter-fascicular dissection- within internal epineurium Suturing through internal epineurium and perineurium
32 Indication: Fascicular repair v Lacerated nerve with identifiable individual motor & sensory fascicles v Partial injury to 1-2 fascicles Repair under high magnification with 10-0 nylon Sutures placed through perineurium Avoid endoneurium Maximum 2 sutures for each fascicle Strengthening by addition of epineural sutures
33 Epineural vs perineural sutures Ø Perineural suture is better & epineural suture is the main source of infiltration- Millesi H: Interfascicular nerve grafting. Orthop Clin North Am 1981; 12: Ø Epineural suture is easier & faster- Orgell M: Epineurial versus perineurial repair of peripheral nerves. In: Tertzis J, ed. Microreconstruction of Nerve Injuries, London: Saunders; 1987: Ø Restriction of perineural sutures to oligofascicular nerves: Kline D, Hudson A, Spinner R, et al: Kline & Hudson's Nerve Injuries: Operative Results for Major Nerve Injuries, Entrapments and tumours. 2 nd ed. Philadelphia, Saunders, Ø No discernable difference- Urbaniak J R. Fascicular nerve suture. Clin Orthop Relat Res Mar;(163):57-64.
34 Nerve auto graft repair Indication: direct repair not possible without undue tension Principles: Ø Harvest as much of graft as possible Ø Extremity to be in full extension Ø Proper alignment: proximal nerves- spatial matching & distal nerves- anatomic matching Ø Cable grafting Ø Epineural dissection to create group of fascicles
35 Nerve auto graft repair Ø Graft sutured in epineural & interfascicular epineural technique Ø Fish mouth configuration Ø 1-2 sutures reinforced with fibrin glue
36 Nerve Location Deficit Contraindication LACN MACN SSRN Terminal sensory branch of MCN. Located just lateral to biceps tendon in subcutaneous tissue. Derived from medial cord. Closely follows brachial vein. Terminal sensory part of radial nerve. Lies deep to brachioradialis muscle in proximal forearm. Good graft for proximal radial nerve recon. Loss of sensation over lateral aspect of forearm Loss of sensation over medial forearm Anatomical snuff box Median nerve injury- significant loss of sensation over dorsolateral thumb Ulnar nerve injury Nil Sural Most commonly used donor. Lies deep to deep fascia at proximal leg. Emerge to subcutaneous tissue at midcalf level. Significant contribution from lateral sural branch of peroneal nerve. Lateral order of the foot Nil
37 Harvesting the graft Methods: Ø Open Ø Endoscopic Incision: v Longitudinal v Step wise Proximal division: deep to deep fascia Cut to produce appropriate length
38 Nerve transfer Involves re-assigning an expendable or redundant nerve or its part or branch to a more important nonfunctioning nerve Indications: v Nerve avulsion v Rapid & reliable recovery of motor function in postganglionic injury v To power free- functioning muscle transfer
39 Nerve transfer Contraindications: Ø Absence of donor nerve Ø Fibrosed, atrophic recipients Ø Repairable rupture or neuroma Ø Poor quality donor Principles: v Accurate preop documentation & fall- back planning- v Selection of ideal donor nerve
40 Nerve transfer v Transection of recipient as proximal as possible v Dissection of donor distal to the recipient- to gain length v Selective neurotization based on fascicular anatomy v Maintaining orientation v Tension free repair
41 Alternative methods Direct muscular neurotization: v Used when distal nerve stump not available v Spreading out fascicle in a fan like manner and burying them in intermysial folds v Becker M, Lassner F, Fansa H, et al: Refinements in nerve to muscle neurotization. Muscle Nerve 2002; 26:
42 Interposed freeze-thawed muscle Basal lamina of muscle acts as scaffold for axonal growth Problem: axonal growth not target oriented but diffusely over the muscle- Schlosshauer B, Dreesmann L, Schaller HE, Sinis N: Synthetic nerve guide implants in humans: a comprehensive survey.

47 Secondary procedures Indications: v To provide additional function v Delay between injury & presentation v Improvement following previous procedure is less than satisfactory Unlike primary procedures these are timeindependent
48 Principles: Tendon transfers Ø Maintenance of tissue equilibrium- correction of contractures, joint stiffness etc Ø Availability: removal of donor should not compromise existing function Ø Muscle strength: >85% of normal power or 4/5 power Ø Excursion: amplitude of motion should match & direction of action should match Ø Synergy: transfer of synergistic muscle facilitate rehab Ø Tension: transferred tendon should be at its resting length
49 Tendon transfer Shoulder function: Trapezius transfer to prox humerus- abduction Combined LD & teres major transfer- external rotation Elbow function: Ø Modified Steindler s flexorplasty: flexor- pronator mass from medial humerus epicondyle transferred 4cm above elbow to anterior cortex of humerus Steindler A: Orthopaedic reconstruction work on hand and forearm.

52 Open Brachial plexus injury Closed
53 Open BPI Laceration or transection Sharp injury Blunt injury Repair within 72 hours Tack to adjacent planes- 2ndary repair at 2-3 weeks
54 Closed injury Neuroma in continuity- clinical/ EPS/ radiographic evaluation No regeneration Regeneration Focal F/U for 2-3 months Lengthy F/U for 4-5 months
55 Non regenerative lesion Exploration + intraop NAP NAP + NAP- Post ganglionic Pre ganglionic Postganglionic Preganglionic Neurolysis Nerve transfer Direct repair or grafting Nerve transfer
56 Lower limb nerve injury Lumbosacral plexus injury can occur following external trauma, orthopedic or obstetric procedures Exposure: Ø Obturator & femoral nerve: retroperitoneum & thigh Ø Sciatic nerve: upper sciatic exposure for hip level injury & lower sciatic exposure for thigh level injury Ø Peroneal nerve: exposure is made starting parallel & medial to biceps tendon & extended inferiorly into popliteal fossa & then more laterally over fibular neck Ø Posterior tibial nerve: superior or thigh level exposure & inferior or leg level exposure
57 Lower limb nerve injury Principles of repair are same Decision making for surgery within 3-4 months of injury is important Results of lower extremity nerve repairs are gratifying
58 Peripheral nerve tumors Benign tumors: Ø Schwannoma: Exposure proximal & distal to tumor Tumor capsule baskets nerve fascicles apart- fascicles are adhered & not incorporated into it Intracapsular dissection of tumor with or without internal decompression 1-2 nonfunctioning fascicles enter into the mass- if no NAP- resected with tumor
59 Peripheral nerve tumors Ø Neurofibroma: Until recently NFs were considered not resectable without deficit Fascicles are displaced by tumor Fascicles at poles are identified Sub capsular dissection done 2 or more fascicles are incorporated within tumor mass- if no NAP- resected NAP +: fascicles are traced into & out of the tumor & spared Malignant tumors: complete removal with tumor free margins
